ANIMA Collective Competition: The Penny Drops

Rosa and I finally got to go to our screening for our film 'The Penny Drops'. Our film along with 10 others debuted at the Brunel Museum in the Brunel Tunnel Shaft. It was an awesome venue, and was amazing to go with live music too. 
It has been an amazing experience, and we've met some incredible people along the way. Big thanks to Adi Chase, our amazing composer who we've collaborated on this project with throughout the whole process. As two (past) musicians ourselves, it's been great to connect with that again. Watch The Penny Drops here.

Cabin Fever: Square Peg Project

Over the summer, we were given a (potentially) live brief with Square Peg, an identity within Random House. The idea was to create an idea for a non-fiction book meant to make the reader think differently about the world.

I decided I wanted to make a book about our relationship to spaces, especially in the case of isolation, reflection and self-discovery. I decided to use some of my film photography and manipulate them to express my idea, which I still struggle to find words to describe.







This project has kind of side-tracked, and it's not quite fit for the brief they originally set now. However, it's moved on to collaborating with Josh Walker, my amazing friend and colleague from Fashion Scout, who also write poetry. It's taking on a new form, and we're now in the process of looking for people to write about their experiences. If you're interested in getting involved, please do let me know!

It has become an ongoing project now, and I'm loving creating these photo collages and I hope to keep making these regardless! As for third year, I'm really getting into the swing of things now. Although I cannot wait for it to be over, I'm feeling like I am actually preparing myself for the future. There's so much I want to achieve!

South East Photographs.

Straight after Fashion Week, I was on a train to Poole to spend some time with my family. I have to say it had been a really long time since I had seen my family so it was great to go on a little adventure by the sea with them. A week later, the girls and I went to Brighton for a stopover on a boat and a bit of a break for us. For Rosa and I especially it has been a wonderful and hectic time in London, but it was the perfect time for this trip. Brighton was very nice to us too, with lots of sun and sea breeze.

I guess all I'm doing is showing you holiday pics but whatever. Just a reminder that summer is now over (boo hoo).

I'm finally back into a stage where I can blog again! I have been working/holidaying/working for the whole of September, and it's been pretty tiring. I promise I haven't had a spare breath until now so I honestly apologise for the late notice. 
SO time for a big catch up. I was at Fashion Scout again for Friday and Saturday. Honestly, I would say the days that I went to were a little disappointing, and I guess that this season has had many people questioning the fashion system. You can only have a look at the Chanel show to see that it's starting to crack. So I can only say that I didn't enjoy it so much this season, purely because I'm starting to get a little bored... harsh? Possibly. But I'm not important enough for people to care.
I've always known that I couldn't continue fashion illustration forever as my entire career; I can barely keep interested in drawing for other people. But either way, I got some nice pieces out of this season... but it is possibly time for me to move on. That doesn't mean I'll be leaving the fashion world at all! I've met too many incredibly kind and innovative people for that. Besides, I will always love clothes, I will always love the performance and concepts of shows.
